Get-Token

When Management Shell is connected to an identity store a token is passed with the commandlet enabling user to perform the required functions in directory.

If you want to perform a function in a different identity store Management Shell is connected with then first, you must have a valid token for the required identity store using the Get-Token commandlet. This commandlet gets a token from Directory Manager Security Service which was assigned to the user at the time of authentication.

Get-Token command is also used to get a valid token in case of token expires in a session.
